Radar EV Path
Oakley Radar EV Path Sunglasses: Peak Athletic Performance
Expert Note: The Oakley Radar EV Path represents the evolution of the iconic Radar model. The "EV" (Expanded View) designation points to a taller lens design that extends the upper field of view—a critical factor for cyclists and runners who keep their heads tilted downward during intense efforts.

Buying Guide: Technology & Fit
The Radar EV is crafted from the ultra-lightweight O Matter™ material and features Unobtainium® earsocks and nosepads, ensuring the frame grips even better when you sweat. We highly recommend pairing them with Prizm™ Sport lenses (like Prizm Road or Prizm Trail) to maximize contrast based on your specific environment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does "Path" mean in Oakley sunglasses?
"Path" refers to the specific shape of the bottom edge of the lens. It features a subtle upward curve designed so the lens doesn't rub against your cheeks or cheekbones when you smile, offering a more universal fit than the "Pitch" shape.
Can I interchange the lenses on the Radar EV?
Yes. While they do not feature the Switchlock™ mechanism found on the RadarLock, Radar EV lenses are easily interchangeable by pinching the nose bridge and pulling the lens downward. We also offer 100% genuine replacement lenses in our catalog.
